GOOD FRIDAY.
Eehold your King Though the moonlight

Eehold your King Though the moonlight
steals
Through the silvery shade of the olive tree,
No star.gemmcd sccptre or crown II reveals
In the solemn shades of Gethsemane;
Only form of PROSTATE grief.
Fallen. crushed. like n broken leaf.
oh, think of this sorrow that we may know
The depth of love In the depth of woe!
Behold your King Is 1t nothing to you,
That the crimson tokens of agony
From the kingly brow must fall like dew.
Through the shuddering shades of Geth'
semanef
Jesus himself, the Prince OF life,
Bows in mysterious mortal strife.
oh, think of this sorrow, that we may know
The unknown love in the unknown woel
Behold your King, with Ills sorrows crowned !
Alone, alone In the valley is IIel
The shadows of death are gathering round,
And the Cross must follow Gethsemane,
Barker and darker the gloom must fall
Filled Is the cup--He must drink 1t all
OH think Of his sorrow, that we may know
His wondrous love In His wondrous Woe!

THE ANSWER

Mr.. Koehler, Receiver of the o. * G.
n. r.. has filed his answer to the petition
OF b. A. witzeI before the Board of Rail-
road Commissioner, asking that said rail-
road be required to return IS OF Sr6
charged witzel by said railroad company
for hauling car load of ten tons of wheat
from Tangent to Albany on the ground
that the charge of $40 is unreasonable.
Mr.. Koehler alleges that the charge is q
reasonable one, as evidence Of which he
sets UP that during the sesson Of IS76-77
the road shipped I347 tons from Tangent.
In I877-7S, 400 tons. In 1850, 1877
tons. In IS7o-so, 1905 tons. He alleges
that the regular tariff rate from Tangent
to Albany, prior to May 22nd, 1885, was
$50 per car of 10 tons, and that at that
time the rate was reduced to $40 in order
to develop greater amount of business
but that owing to short crops and the
building of other roads has actually re-
duced the amount Of wheat shipped from
that point as shown by the above figures.
lie further alleges that the $40 per car
charged for the service rendered is within
the maximum allowed under the act aP-
proved Feb. 10th, 1855, (the Hoult law,)
and that to reduce the rate would be a
serious detriment and loss to the road.
The answer is long and shows that this
rate Is relatively no higher than many
roads East, and asks that the petition be
dismissed.

WHAT DO you THINK OF TIP

Now suppose the wheat raisers in Ore.
gon and other parts Of the country should
60 before Congress and say, now We can
not raise wheat and sell 1t in competition
with the wheat growers Of England India
and Russia, therefore we want Congress
to give a bonus of ten cents bushel on
every bushel raised in this country, and
this bonus is to be paid over TO the wheat
grower in order to enable him to compete
with foreign wheat growers. What would
nanufacturers,owncrs Of mills,merchants,
wool growers ndall except wheat grow
ers say of such proposition Would not
such proposition be denounced as purely
selfish, absurd and foolish in the extreme1
Would not wheat growers be denominated
as leeches trying to fasten themselves on
the public treasury Would they not be
denounced as a mercenary horde attempt
ing to become pensioners upon public
bounty And yet how different or how
less burdensomc to the people Is the pro-
lection now given TO manufacturers OF
wooden goods who, in consequence of the
tariff laws,is enabled 10 compel every pur-
chaser of such goods to pay much high
er price for such goods than they could
be purchased for II this tariff burden was
not placed upon them The demand of
the wheat grower Is just as reasonable and
as plainly defensibIe as the demand of the
manufacturer for a tariff for protection.
In the first instance the money in the shape
Of bonus is paid out of the public funds
collected from the people in the shape OF
taxes, while in the latter, the manufactur-
er gets his bonus from the people in the
increased price Of the goods which he sells
to them. John Sherman proposes to re-
move the duties frona sugar and then give
bonus to sugar producers to enable them
to compete with foreign producers.
Would It not be just as fair and reasonable
to give the farmers bonus as to give Il
to sugar producers What does our neigh.
Dor, the DisssmisatOy, think Of this propo
sition

NEVER LICENSES

A prohibition lecturer tells her audience
that there are many little towns in the
state where the people would refuse Ii
cense to liquor dealers and thus have pro-
hibition, were it not that the general gov
eminent steps in and grants license, thus
rendering the people unable ..toshelp them
selves. The good lady is Iaboring under
avery grave error. The United States has
never granted license TO any one to sell
liquors anywhere in the jurisdiction Of the
state. The United States has no power to
grant liquor licenses in any state. That
power belongs exclusively to the states or
70 the people of the states. This power
to regulate or prohibit the liquor traffic is
one Of the reserved rights Of the states,
and can be no more legally exercised by
the United States than by any foreign
government For the purpose of raising
revenue, the general government taxes
the business of liquor selling, but never
exercises itself about the dealers right tc
s,ll that being a matter entirely betweer
the dealer and the state.
